Hec est l'ami Careme! - A Grotesque Satire on Lent and Excess
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing print captures the essence of Aaron Martinet's unique artistic style, showcasing his mastery in creating satirical caricatures. Created in the early 19th century, this piece titled "Hec est l'ami Careme!" takes us back to a time when Lent was observed with strict religious fervor. In this image, we witness a scene filled with absurdity and humor. The central figure is an overweight man wearing a Pierrot mask, symbolizing the excesses of Carnival season. His protruding belly and bottom are exaggeratedly emphasized, poking fun at gluttony during this period of abstinence. Martinet's attention to detail is evident as he incorporates elements such as fish and seafood – traditional symbols associated with fasting – juxtaposed against the man's indulgence in food. The use of color adds vibrancy to the composition while highlighting societal contrasts between thinness and obesity. The artist cleverly combines elements of religion, science, medicine, and satire within this single artwork. The presence of an enema syringe hints at both medical practices related to bodily purification as well as social commentary on excessive consumption. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art under their Heritage Art collection, Martinet's work continues to captivate viewers even centuries later. This photograph print serves as a testament to his ability to provoke thought through visual storytelling while shedding light on cultural practices that have evolved over
